Spark Plugs Question

Can anyone tell me what is the correct gap for the One Step Colder Plugs.
Is the stock gap on the NGK ready to be installed or do they need re-gapping.

I just put in the xxxx7EIX-11's and left them at the preset gap. I measured it to be ~0.042" for all four. The test drive went fine but I'm not sure how I'll ever know if this is the best setting. Maybe later next summer when things heat up, I'll have an idea. I'm gonna try to get in on Jan's Dimsport dyno tune in Dallas tomorrow where we may see if it's pulling timing or not. I'll let you know if there's any input as to plug/gap from the wizard then.
